this was really tasty! added a little sautéed onion, used parmesan over romano, and 1/2 container of chive onion creamed cheese. a quick meal. kale would work in place of spinach. can't wait for the leftovers!

Easy, creamy, and delicious. I didn't alter the recipe at all, but saw some had substituted brocollini and I think that would be incredible.

I know everyone hates when people rate recipes that they changed, but I had to post because this recipe is amazing with chicken sausage. I used chipotle chicken sausage and added a little more pasta water than called for. Otherwise I followed the directions as written. The calories came out to the same. It was flavorful, creamy, and tastes like its bad for you!

Pretty good, I added a little more salt. I like mine cheesy, so I added about 1/4 cup extra romano. I did use almost double the water the recipe called for and it was still pretty thick.

Very good, a little spicy- used broccoli instead of spinach. Will add a little more water next time.

This was very good and simple to pull together. I made a vegetarian version using Gardein Chik'n. I found that it needed more pasta water than called for. I doubled the amount and the consistency was perfect. I also added about 1/2 tsp of salt.

Kind of bland and the sauce was a little too thick. Used chicken broth in place of the pasta water, added a little more liquid and salt. With those modifications, it was a good, quick week night meal.
